Soil and Water Outcomes Fund

The Soil and Water Outcomes Fund is excited to announce that McCormick & Company has joined our Midwest Climate-Smart Commodity Program! In collaboration with PepsiCo, the organizations will support farmers adopting regenerative practices on more than 90,000 acres of agricultural land across Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and northern Iowa, generating approximately 62,000 MT of CO2e abatement in the supply chain, in addition to other water and soil health improvements. Corporate commitments like this are essential to mitigating the risks and costs farmers face when adopting more regenerative practices, paving the way toward a more sustainable and resilient food system.
